Hmm… that feels better! Heading out of town for the day to visit some of our antique ladies! Yipppeee! That means pink lamingtons and cappucinos.. very delicious and daggy! Our stationwagon is off the road.. so it is the merc today (think 1984 model).. which is great.. because it has a cassette player.. which means lots of rewinding and fast-forwarding fun!

On a Miker note.. we are half full of WINTER things.. so the shop is all cosy and knitted and smocky and nice! Come look! Also Kim’s Jewels are really lovely.. made from Mahjong Tiles, Rummy Tiles and other game related pieces – they are really cute and whimsical. And on Thursday our big batch ‘Keep Calm’ tea-towels from Lark will arrive! Plus new dresses from Joachim and Anna.. and 4 suitcases full of vintage garments are due on Friday afternoon!

well.. i have done.. umm.. NONE of the things on my list.. except eat a pink lamington! The owls are from a lovely book ‘Modern Embroidery’ by Ike Rosen.. it is actually a close-up of an embroidered table-cloth! How gorgeous! xx and hurrah for perms, taffeta, golden books and TULLE.. especially tulle! xx pip
i too think making lists is very encouraging, but i only have one thing noted one my list and that is work, work, work…
I have to finish a bunch of drawings today and i want to make new stuffed cats, I have a lot of ideas in my head but no time to realise them. I love the drawing of the owls. did you make that?? Good luck!
Making lists can be very comforting, I agree!
A pity I can’t visit your shop, a bit far, I’m afraid. But looking at nice things (golden books!) on my computer can be satisfying too.
Thanks for the nice compliment on my drawing 🙂
I’m feeling a little dizzy …
Wish I’d kept my school formal dress for you. Electric blue tafetta, ruched down the side, drop waisted on the angle, tulle over skirt.
Did I mention the perm?
Have a lovely drive in the gorgeous Autumn sun. Enjoy the pink lamingtons
